The PRESIDENT is censured by many Tor
refusing to comply with the numerous ma
urgent requests that have been made to him
for cali for an extra session OF C0ngsess,'n
ord ,r that something might be done to stop
the accumulation Of .urplusin the treasury,
and to disburse the immense sum already
thsre. SO that the hundred millions now
locked up in The vaults, and Tor which there
il no use, could lie turned again into The gen.
eral circulation from which they were taken,
aud the prevailing strugency in the money
market be relieved. But ouch censnre IS
rot only undeserved but is utterly ground
less. The President and his Treasury OIL
Gals warned Congress Of just such condi
ton of financial affairs "a now exists, and
pointed out the means by which it could be
avoided, and urged their adoption. His
advice would have been taken had 1t not
been for the opposition of the republicans
aided by Mr. RandalI's small contingent OF
Northern democrats and IA there is moth
inc TO show that it would not meet with the
same opposition now as then, and as the
regular meeting OF Congress is only two
months of, there is no good reason why the
certain expense of an extra session should
be incurred for the not only uncertain, but
highly improbable, benefta that might be
derived from such session. The Presi-
dents course in respect of somo things de-
serves the censure not only of all good and
t,ue democrats, but. as in the Blackburn
case, his rule excluding all ex-Confederates
from the offices subject to the civil service
law, and in soma other casea, men OF all par
ties Who think that period OF twenty-three
wears after the close of the war is about long
enough for war restrictions to continue. But
80 far as the financial affairs Of the country
are concerned, his course from first to last
has been eminently wise and proper, and
merits the APPRECIATION of the wisest of bis
cuuntrymen.

FORMER resident of Alexandra. recent
Nv here on visit after an absence OF hve
vears. said he was struck with the great I'M
movement that had been made, ootn ID Inc
LARGE number of new houses and 10 the ap
neerspce of the old ones, and that though be
NOW jiyes in what is spoken of as a growing
city he did not think the improvement
tbsre. in the same line, during the same
time, had been any greater than here. lie
dill think, however, that better streets ana
sidewalks would greatly increase the al
fractions of the city, and be more likely 10
draw population and money. There ID no
doubt that the city has increased IN poFua-
tion and improved in appearance during the
last five wears, and as little doubt that an
Improvement Of it's streets aud sioe"a'hs
would be highly conducive to an increased
ratio of improvement during the next hVe
in -esnect of both the conditions referred To-.
wis. and economical system of street im-
provement would probably not be 100 ex-
pensive for the property owners on Inc ifh-
proved streets TO bear; but, if little bur
densome ut first, the necessarily resulting
enhancement Of the value Of that property
would in short time more than set thihg9
even. Suppose the City Council make en-
quiries respecting the probable cost oil the
required Improvement, and how much OF
that cost should be borne by the property
owners on the improved streets, and how
much by the city. Such information at
least could be obtained with little or no ex-
pense, and with that premise it could readily
be determined whether or not The suggested
Improvement would cost more than 1t
would come TO. But the best way TO I'M
proye sttt. is and sidewalks, rs to accom-
plsh any other desirable end, is TO do II.
The talk about improving the streets was
commenced long before the war, and with
VARYING intervals has been kept up ever
since. There have been words enough.
Let us now have some action.

How Washington was Saved.

South Carolinians will probably be
gratiiicd to learn that the oil portrait
OF George Washington, which former

Columbia, and was supposed to have
been destroyed when the Union forces
burned that city, has been discovered
Il there arc prospects Of its being re,
turned to the State authorities. Gen.
w. W. Bclknap, who was II member
Of Gen. Shcrinan's staff at the time
Columbia "a fired, and who subse-
qucntly became secretary of wal in
Grants Administration, was presented
to Governor Thompson IL few evenings
ago at q reception. After exchanging
the usual courtcsies, the conversation
driitcd on to South Carolina affairs
during the late war. Gen. Bclknap,
in relating his rccollcctions Of the
burning Of Columbia, said he was one
Of the last Of the Union soldiers to
leave the State House. As he and
his orderly were passing through the
House Of Representatives. lie observed
tho large portraits Of Washington
directly behind the Speakers chair.
There were, also, several other largo

THE PRIDE OF MARLBORO.
Bennottsville's Exoe]lont Schools and

A correspondent Of the News and
Courier writing from Bcnnettsvillc,
on the 10Th Of January, has this to
say concerning our schools: "Onc Of

Of the Marlboro Graded School, are
the president and secretary Of the

lccts Tor general discussion was The
Important ono, the management OF
stubborn and crying children. This
certainly is very important, and re-
qrircs the deep thought which tho
teachers seem to have given it.
Bcnncttsvillc is certainly blessed
with u fine school, and Prof. Britton
and his wife seem determined to in
crease the advantages Of the school,
and more than this, all the teachers
OF the county are enthusiastic III their
work, and determined to increase the
dignity, trust and honor that is at
tachcd to the position Of one who has
to mould the minds and morals Of the
youth Of the land. Prof. Britton is a
good worker and disciplinarian, and
the school, under his management, is
SAID ny those who know to be equal
to any in the State. All the patrons
pleased, and the scholars enjoy
the school so much that they can't be
Kept away. 1t is to be hoped that
the plan to have Il free school in Ben
n~ettsvillc all tho year will succeed,
and that Prof. Britton will be retain
ed to carry it on and to keep up the
high standard which the present
school under him has attained"

WHERE THE MISTAKE OCCURRED
The Richmond State of the 18th says: A few
days ago Gen. James c. Hill, the new rail-
road commissioner. received letter from
Capt. Charles Grattan, of Waynesboro' :,
who said in it:
81 started some cattle from the farm
Yesterday to be shipped at this point to
Richmond over the Newport News and
Mississippi Valley Company-late Chesa-
pea6e and Ohio-but being informed by the
agent here l should have to pay 81 per car
from this point to Richmond, I ordered
them back to the farm. l know of others
in the same condition. The former rate
l understand from cattle dealers here was
S35. There is and can be no reason for
this change. except it be an effort to put
odium upon the new Inter State law and
bring it into disrepute among the people. :"
Gen. Hill has investigated the matter
and to-day he informed State reporter
that it was entirely mistake on the part
of the agent at Waynesboro'. Gen. Hill
also says: The fact is the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company, instead of increas-
ing their local rates, have reduced them
at an average of at least 20 per cent?
Mr. Grattan, in postscript to a COM
munication in the State of the 10Th, in re-
ply to Gen. Hills letter, says:
Since writing the above am informed by Mr.
John w. Todd. Staunton merchant, who Is to-
day shipping fertilizers to Waynesboro and
is now ten cents per hundred as against i've
cen It's per hundred, and to Fishersville is now
seven cents as against four cents per hundred
pounds. Before the LIST a rebate of Is per cent.
was allowed the shipper where it had once gone
over the road. This is now under the new law,
taken away. They seem to know how to util-
lie legislation for themselves, but are obliviOus
when it is in favor of the shipper. Mr.. P. N:
Powell yesterday received an order for a ton of
hay to go to Hanover Courthouse. Upon inqui-
ry he found the freight would be sS.4 per ton.
which WAS prohibitory, being the value of the
hay. Before the new tariff the freight on the
same goods to same place was 81 so. This looks
like reduction of 90 per cent. on local freight
don't it.
